Osteosarcoma Treatment

Osteosarcoma is a malignant bone tumor, mainly affecting adolescents and young adults. Without timely treatment, the tumor may rapidly erode bone tissue and spread, severely affecting patients’ quality of life. Osteosarcoma treatment methods are diverse, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immune reconstruction cell therapy. Missing the treatment window leads to disease progression and reduced survival rates.

Emerging Treatment Methods

Immune Reconstruction Cell Therapy

Immune reconstruction cell therapy shows significant advantages in osteosarcoma treatment. This therapy activates the patient’s own immune system to recognize and eliminate tumor cells, enhancing anti-tumor ability.

① Improves immune tolerance, reducing recurrence risk;

② Enhances overall efficacy when combined with conventional therapies;

③ Fewer side effects and high safety.

In practice, tumor patients undergoing surgery, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy often experience immune impairment, increased infection risk, and slow recovery. To better support patients through treatment, phased immune reconstruction programs must be scientifically designed for different cycles to improve tolerance and survival quality.

● Short-term plan: Rapidly enhance immunity through immune cell reinfusion to strengthen anti-tumor effects.

● Mid-term plan: Reduce side effects of conventional treatments, promote recovery, and ensure completion of standard therapy.

● Long-term plan: Comprehensive enhancement of immunity through immune cell reconstruction, gut immunity restoration, elemental immunity rebuilding, and immune nutrition support, thereby improving quality of life and extending survival.

Conventional Treatment Methods

1. Surgical Treatment

Surgical resection is the cornerstone of osteosarcoma treatment, aiming to completely remove tumor tissue and restore bone structure. Modern surgical techniques emphasize limb function preservation and complete tumor removal to minimize recurrence risk.

2. Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is a commonly used adjuvant therapy for osteosarcoma, capable of eliminating residual tumor cells after surgery and controlling micrometastases. New chemotherapy drugs and regimens are continually optimized to improve efficacy while reducing toxicity.

3. Radiotherapy

Radiotherapy is less frequently used in osteosarcoma, mainly for unresectable tumors or as adjuvant control of local disease. Precision radiotherapy helps minimize damage to surrounding healthy tissues.

4. Minimally Invasive Treatments

In recent years, minimally invasive techniques have gradually been applied to osteosarcoma treatment, including arthroscopy-assisted surgery and high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). Minimally invasive approaches cause less trauma, allow faster recovery, and help improve quality of life.

Conclusion

Osteosarcoma treatment requires multidisciplinary collaboration, integrating immune reconstruction cell therapy, surgery, and chemotherapy into comprehensive treatment plans to maximize effectiveness. Experts at United Life International Medical Center emphasize that timely and standardized treatment is crucial for improving prognosis.
